    i got my dell inspiron 1501 last xmas and until then didnt have much idea as to how fast 1gb ram or 256mb gfx would perform...especially on a laptop.it wasnt until my more experienced friend pointed out that it was running on what seemed to be 512mb ram and 64mb gfx.he was almost right.instead of usin the full 1gb it was using 512mb which the gfx card using its hypermemory took anything between 16-256mb from which really slowed things down.By march i had done everything i could think of.re-installing drivers,the bios and even tryed omega drivers.checked on forums for sollutions but none worked.now to add to my problems ati2dvag.dll is causing my gfx card & sometimes the entire pc to crash randomely,mostly in games though.i only have a rough idea how to solve all these probems.i would really appreciate any input from anyone as im at breaking point now.

    Sorry, but this really isn't the place for that. You may want to try the Dell section.

    the integrated graphics have 128 mb onboard so unless your video editing or intense gaming with the hyper memory its fast as alot of the dedicated cards are and what is your cpu check mine sig. for an ideal 1501 setup im upgradin to a TL-60 turion so no problems all ive had to do is reinstall mce once works fine now
